What freedoms granted by the Constitution have ever applied to foreign legal entities? And since when did sucking off 200 billion dollar corporations become part of the leftist playbook?
The same way it applied to enemy combatants held at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay in a 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision, *Boumediene v. Bush, *which held that the basic right of habeas corpus to challenge illegal detentions extends even to non-citizens on foreign territory.
Unless otherwise specified, the rights granted in the US constitution apply to all people of the world regardless of where they are.
If corporations are people as defined by citizens united, then these protections apply to foreign companies also.
One can only speak for themselves. Is extremely weird to say “we support X now?”. I’m not a we, and neither are you.
Nowhere did I say I supported it, the question was since when do foreign companies get rights, and my answer was merely showing a way in which they would under our current precedents.
Idk, I’ve looked through a lot of comments here, and there seem to be three prevailing opinions:
“No social media company is a good social media company, let it burn”
“I don’t actively want to see TikTok banned, but there are literally thousands of more important things to worry about than the legal troubles of an—again— $200,000,000,000 corporation
”Nooo u force ByteDance to sell TikTok that is hypocrite and liturally the same as the Great Firewall” (it isn’t, by the way; the U.S. will never block the website no matter what happens)
Ah yes, the famous “you’re free as long as you obey me”. Totally not imperialism.

So we support Citizens United now?
I’m not sucking any corporation. Many people here are licking USA ass though. In support of a shameless imperialist move.
